Cloud computing refers to an IT landscape (e.g. data centre, data storage, software such as ERP or CRM) that can be rented. The applications and data are neither operated by the user himself, nor provided to him, nor are they located on local computers or in the company data centre. Instead, they are accessible via the internet.
The basic idea behind cloud computing is to transform classic products into web services. Cloud computing is not a fixed product term, but encompasses different computing aspects, such as network infrastructure, software and data storage. All these products are offered as a service, where in the end you only pay for what you actually use. The user's data is stored externally and is accessible via the internet. The service provider manages all of the user's infrastructure and/or software so that the user has time to fully concentrate on their core tasks and processes. Many providers store the data in different data centres that are geographically separated and located in different places. This way, in the event of power outages or natural disasters, users can access their data in the cloud via another data centre.
